The address is formed by combining an Access Code (AC) uniquely identifying the computer and a Unique Identification Code (UIC) signifying; (i) a prescribed action to be performed by the computer (15); and (ii) an entity that is the subject of the prescribed action. At least one character of the address is common to both the Access Code and the Unique Identification Code and the address is arranged such that said at least one common character is unified within the address such that the number of characters in the address string is less than the total number of characters in the Access Code and the Unique Identification Code.

Description

A MESSAGING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE SAME FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a messaging system and, in particular, to a method for providing easy access to a service or content offered by a messaging system. The invention has a particular though not exclusive utility in client applications based on the short message service ("SMS") and on the network devices of the global system for mobile communication ("Global System for Mobile Communications" or GSM), such as mobile or cell phones.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The rapid growth of the portable device industry has produced a multitude of information, services and applications that can be accessed through a wireless medium. The challenge at present is not so much 'to offer a better content, but rather, to provide better access to this content or service. In all this specification unless otherwise indicated, it will be understood that the verb "contain" and its derivations, for example, "contains" or "that "contains", implies the inclusion of an integer or group of declared integers, but not the exclusion of any other integer or integer group The applicant describes a messaging system in his earlier patent application WO-A-02/47320. Figure 2 is a schematic block diagram showing the messaging system of patent WO-A-02/47320 adapted for an instant messaging application with client types of GSM and PC-based devices connected to the main server. 2 shows a messaging system 11 for transmitting messages between a main server 15 and a client 13a, which is part of a GSM network The GSM network includes an installation of SMS to transmit messages among its customers through a service center of short messages ("Short Message Service Center" or SMSC), 25. Each wireless client has an associated network identification number ("Network Identifying Number" or NIN), to identify exclusively to the customer within the GSM network. Each message contains a message packet 43 which includes the address 49 of the desired recipient, the address 47 of the sender of the message and the message itself 51. The main server 15 can be selectively connected to a multitude of different types of clients 13, by means of Internet 19, for the transmission of messages between them.

Each client has a client identification number ("Client Identifying Number" or CIN) associated with it, to uniquely identify it to the main server 15. The main server 15 and the SMSC 25 are interconnected through the Internet 19 or through another network of computers to allow communications between them. One of the clients 13 of the main server 15 is a wireless client 13a and has its CIN corresponding to its NIN. The main server 15 has an access code or ("Access Code" or AC, to identify it exclusively before the SMSC 25 and a unique identification number ("Unique Identifying Number" or UIN) assigned to: (i) an action prescribed to be performed by that, and (ii) an entity that is the subject of the prescribed action The messages sent in the message packets 43 between the main server 15 and the wireless client 13a related to a particular prescribed action and the entity , include: (i) a combination of the AC and the UIN assigned to the particular action and to the entity such as the address of the main server 15, and (ii) the NIN, as the address of the wireless client, • The SMSC 25 also uses the AC in the address of the intended recipient or the sender to recognize the messages sent to or received by the main server 15 and send messages accordingly. The present invention was developed to offer efficient and adequate communication of messages between clients or users and a main server, where the medium between one of the users and the exchange server includes wireless communications.

SUMMARY OF THE IHVEMCIÓM One object of the invention is to offer a much simpler messaging service that includes the sending, receiving and retrieval of content and information, as well as mobile participation in transactions and services. The invention offers a method for transmitting information between a wireless communication device and a computer offering the messaging service, which comprises: sending a message from the wireless communication device to the computer, the message includes the address of the computer; receive communication on the computer, the address is formed by combining the AC that uniquely identifies the computer and a unique identification code ("Unique Identification Code" or UIC) that has the meaning of: (i) a prescribed action which will be done by the computer; and (ii) an entity that is the subject of the prescribed action; and where at least one character of the address is common both to the access code and to the unique identification code and the address is arranged in such a way that the common character (s) are joined in the address, so that the number of characters in the chain of the address is less than the total number of characters in the access code and in the unique identification code. The method of the invention allows the user of the wireless communication device to be presented with a seemingly shorter code that will be introduced when accessing the various services provided by a messaging service or by a network service provider. The method may comprise the additional steps of sending the message of the wireless communication device to a messaging server, where the access code uniquely identifies the computer to the messaging server that sends the message to the computer. Alternatively, the computer is a messaging server and the access code uniquely identifies a messaging service provided by the messaging server and the UIC identifies the client to whom the message will be sent.

The address can be formed by combining the access code and the unique identification code as two sets of characters that overlap and the common character (s) are located in the portion of the address in which the overlap of the two codes occurs. This mode is the most intuitive, however, it would be possible to order the address in alternative ways, while still offering a reduction in the length of the address when compared to the combined total length of the access code and unique code of identification. The invention also offers a system that includes a wireless communication device and a computer that provides the messaging service, where the wireless communication device is adapted to send a message to said computer, the message includes the address of the computer, the The system is adapted to correctly steer the message from an address formed by combining an AC access code that uniquely identifies the computer and a unique UIC identification code that has the meaning of: (i) a prescribed action that will be performed by the central computer; and (ii) an entity that is the subject of the prescribed action; and where at least one character of the address is common to the access code and the unique identification code and the address is arranged in such a way that the common character (s) are linked in the address, so that the number of characters in the address string is less than the total number of characters in the access code and in the unique identification code.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Figure 1 shows an illustrative messaging system 11, in which the present invention can be used. The messaging system includes a multitude of clients 13 of the same types, or of different types, 13a, 13b, 13c and 13d. and a main server 15. The main server 15 contains a multitude of access servers 15a to 15d and a database 17 of user information. The access servers are selectively connected to each of the clients 13 by means of a network of computers, an example of this is Internet 19, to send and receive messages and commands, as represented by arrow 21 with respect to a service supplied by the main server 15 to the users. The clients 13 selectively connect to the main server 15; via Internet 19, when they wish to use a particular service using any or all of the following terminals or devices: a GSM 13a mobile client connected through a GSM 23 cellular site and the SMSC 25 server system, where there is transmission of SMS messages 27 between the client's GSM device 29, for example, a cellular telephone and the SMSC server system 25; 52/237 a client 13b, based on a PC, connected by means of an Internet service provider ("Internet Service Provider" or ISP, where the message packets 33 communicate between the client PC application and the ISP 31; a client 13c , Internet browser, connected by means of an ISP 35, where the message packets of the ipertext markup language ("Hyper Text arkup Language" or HTML 37 are transmitted between the browser client 13c and the ISP; 35; and a client of email 13d, connected by means of an ISP 37, where the message packets 39 of the email are communicated between the email client 13d and the ISP 37. A CIN uniquely identifies each client before the main server 15 This number is correlated with the actual address of the client and is stored in the main server user information database 17. Wireless clients that are part of an inal communication network Amber, such as GSM 13a mobile clients, also have a network identification number to uniquely identify the wireless client to the wireless communication network, in this case, the GSM network to which the mobile client belongs 52/237 13a. This number is stored within the GSM network and is used by mobile clients to identify the intended recipients of SMS messages sent by mobile clients and to identify the sender's address of these messages to the SMSC server system to perform the message transfer. In the present embodiment, the network identification number is simply the GSM telephone number of the GSM device of the mobile client 13a. The SMSC 25 server system controls and manages the transmission of all SMS messages among its wireless client subscribers. The SMSC server system 25 includes a database in which are stored the network identification numbers of all the SMS subscribers together with the SMS message packets 27 sent by a wireless client subscriber to the intended recipients, which can be or not connected or available in the cellular network at the time of sending. Subsequently, these message packets are downloaded automatically by the intended recipients when the recipient's GSM device is turned on and connected or when, in some other way, it is available for the reception of messages in a cell site. As it has already been. mentioned, the main server 52/237 15 is directly connected to the SMSC 25 server system, via Internet 19 (alternatively, the SMSC server system can be connected through a direct or electronic link). In this way, messages or short messages can be sent using data lines or direct electronic lines through the Internet from the main server 15 to the SMSC server system 25 for the subsequent delivery to subscribers of the SMS of the GSM network. Sending and receiving short messages between the main server 15 and the SMSC server system 25 is done using the message protocol of the GSM network. In one modality, the particular protocol used is CIMD2, which is a system adopted by the GSM network and mobile phone manufacturers, for example, Nokia (registered trademark) and Ericsson (registered trademark). However, the system can support other protocols, such as the short message peer to peer protocol (SMPP). In the exemplified messaging system, the main server 15 assigns the wireless network identification number of a wireless client to be the customer identification number of the messaging system. In this way, the main server 15 is compatible with the SMSC 25 server system in its way of identifying and directing the wireless clients to facilitate the 52/237 transfer of messages between the main server and a wireless client, through the SMSC server system. However, this feature is not essential in the present invention. The access code is also assigned to the main server 15 to uniquely identify it to the SMSC server system 25. The access code is used in the messages sent between the wireless clients 13a and the main server 15, so that the system of the SMSC server 25 can distinguish the SMS messages coming from a wireless client destined to be sent to the main server 15 of other SMS messages handled, by the SMSC server system, which are associated with the SMS messaging service provided by that and which they are not intended to be sent to the main server. The access code constitutes, in effect, the address of the main server 15, from the perspective of the SMSC server system 25. In this embodiment, the SMSC server system 25 is configured in a particular way to decode the access code from of the first digits of a network identification number representing the target address or GSM telephone number of the desired recipient of an SMS message sent by a wireless client a. through the GSM network. The system 52/237 of the SMSC 25 server has a routing or sending software to direct any received message to the main server. From the network identification number, the access code has been decoded in the present mode through the Internet. The different services provided by the main server 15 to their clients are assigned a UIN. The UIN is indicative of: (a) a prescribed action that will be performed by the principal server for a client, and (b) an entity that is the subject of the prescribed action. Examples of the prescribed actions that will be performed by the main server 15 include: performing a routine on the main server associated with accessing an electronic notice board; perform a routine on the main server associated with participation in a commercial transaction; perform a routine on the main server associated with personal services; perform a routine on the main server associated with a chat room; perform a routine on the main server associated with the direct transfer of the message to another client or group of clients of the main server, as specified in the message package to which, in the following, it will be called an instant messaging application. The entities that may be subject to the 52/237 Prescribed actions include, respectively: the topic or topic of the notice board; the product or service subject of the commercial transaction; the particular type of personal service; the subject or particular topic of the chat room; the client or group of specific clients involved in receiving the message. Consequently, the different UINs assigned to the different prescribed actions and to the different entities associated with the prescribed action. In the illustrative messaging system, such as that described in WO-A-02/47320, in the case of a wireless client, the UIN of a prescribed action and of an entity with which the message is related, is combined with the code of the main server to form the address of the main server 15. Furthermore, as far as the GSM network is concerned, this combination of the access code and the UIN is the network identification number of the main server and is used as the address or real GSM number of the intended recipient in an SMS message intended to be sent by a wireless client to the main server. It is used in a similar way as the sender's address in any message sent by the main server to a wireless client related to any service provided to the wireless client by the main server. 52/237 Next, an instant messaging application will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 4. When the UIN of a message packet received by a client indicates that the main server 15 will perform the instant messaging function, the main server performs on behalf of the client. user the following basic actions: (i) send and (ii) receive instant messages, and (iii) detect users who are "online", that is, they are connected to the Internet or to those who may have some access by means of instant messaging just at that moment or close to it. In the context of instant messaging ("Instant Messaging" or IM), users are also called "Cuates". The main server 15 is specifically programmed to undertake any of the basic actions already mentioned in case it is activated or if a client that has access to the main server instructs it in that sense. Activation is performed when the client sends a notice or electronic command in a message packet sent to the main server. For example, a GSM device will do the above sending an SMS message to the main server, an email client will do so by sending an email to the main server; an explorer client will do it by sending 52/237 instructions or commands to the main server through the Web, and a PC-based application will do so by sending commands to the main server through an electronic or Internet link. The format of the information provided, such as the actual message or notification of who is online, will necessarily depend on the type of device. For example, for a GSM device, the format will be SMS; for an email, it will be in the form of an email, and for a browser client, it will be in the form of HTML, acronyms. Since the invention is primarily concerned with requests related to wireless clients, the basic functions of the main server 15 and the client 13 with reference to instant messaging will be described in the context of how they work with respect to a GSM client. For the description of the basic operation of a client based on a PC, as shown in Figure 2 of the drawings, it is necessary to consult WO-A-02/47320. For the description of the basic operation with other types of clients, it is necessary to refer to the co-pending international application PCT / SG00 / 00068 of the present applicant. For a GSM-based client, a GSM 61 device, such as a mobile telephone, is the terminal or apparatus and 52/237 the user of this device makes it function as a subscriber of the GSM network, where telecommunications between subscribers are transmitted wirelessly by GSM cellular sites 63 arranged to create a cellular network. A subscriber-to-subscriber SMS message in a GSM network includes a message packet 65 containing the sender's NIN network identification number (the sender's GSM mobile telephone number) 67, the target recipient's NIN "(by the regular, the GSM mobile telephone number of the receiver) 69, the GSM mobile number of the SMSC server system 25 which will process the message 71 and a message 73 up to 160 characters.The sending of messages from the GSM mobile device 61 to another user of the messaging system 11 is achieved by entering an SMS message 73 in the GSM device and specifying the NIN of the target recipient in the "To" address 69. The actual steps of the introduction are specific to the manufacturer of the GSM device. that the recipient's NIN address is a combination of the numeric access code (as defined by the GSM operator) and the target recipient's CIN, as described in nterior, the access code is specific to the GSM operator and is used to indicate the SMSC server system 25 52/237 that the SMS will be forwarded to the main server 15. The GSM 61 device receives instant messages through the messaging system 11 in the same way as it would receive SMS messages from the SMSC server system 25 of the GSM network. The instant messages received by a GSM client from the main server 15 would indicate a CIN in the "From" or "Reply to" address 67 that contains the combination of the access code plus the user's CIN. It should be noted that the recipient's CIN in the messaging application actually constitutes the UIN that is decoded by the main server to determine the required prescribed action on the appropriate entity by sending, in this case, the message packet as an instant message to the indicated recipient . The IM 53 server application is designed to provide GSM customers with "online buddies" notification via SMS messages that contain information from online users. The IM 53 server application sends these messages to the GSM 61 client when activated by a GSM client. The activation of a message of this type can be automatic or manual, depending on the user's specification. As shown in Figure 2, manual activation is performed by the user of a GSM 61 device that 52/237 sends an SMS message 75 containing a UI that designates a prescribed SMS command to the main server 15. For example, the message packet of this SMS message 75 will contain the access code of the main server 15 combined with the UIN of the "command who is online" prescribed as the NIN in the "To" address 77. The main server 15 counts with a processing means, so that when it receives this SMS message that contains the "who's online command", coming from the SMSC 25 server system, it decodes the UIN to determine that this is an instant messaging application and, then, Call the IM 53 server application to take care of the prescribed action. In the present case of a manual activation, this will involve sending the sender of the message an SMS message or a series of SMS messages 81 in which the CINs and pseudonyms are notified or listed, if they have been entered, senders of the guys who are online. Alternatively, the message packet of this SMS message 81 may contain the CIN 83 of a user of the particular GSM client 85 which indicates that said pager is online or another message. In the case of automatic activation, the IM 53 server application is designed to send to the particular GSM client an SMS notification of 52/237 that a user or a particular group of users (cuates) is online or not, when the IM server application detects their presence online or a change in this situation. Consequently, with automatic activation, the GSM user does not need to send notices. The described instant messaging application works on the principle of using only a CIN / UIN to identify a user no matter what type of client it is and compare that and only that UIN with all types of clients of that user that can be handled by the main server. In this way, the IM 53 server application allows the user to access their account with any of the following types of clients: client application based on a PC, GSM client, Internet browser client and email client. Regardless of the type of client, the IM 53 server application can, consequently, recognize the user by comparing it with its particular CIN / UIN. From now on, the user has access to the basic functions of the IM system, such as sending messages, answering messages, receiving messages and checking who is online, among other basic IM functions. The way in which this comparison of CIN / UIN with devices and users is done by the application of 52/237 '.

IM server 53 which will now be described for the GSM device client type, with reference to Figures 3 and 4. The manner in which this is done for other types of clients is described in the co-pending international application PCT / SGOO / 00068 of applicant. With respect to a GSM client application supplied by a GSM device 85, the IM 53 server application, which in practice runs on the multiple servers ", access 15a to 15e, is connected to the SMSC server system 25 via Internet 19. In turn, the SMSC server system 25 communicates wirelessly with several GSM cellular sites 87 to establish communication with the mobile user's GSM device 85. In the case of an instant message that will be sent from the GSM device 85 to the main server 15, as shown in FIG. 3, the SMSC server system 25 receives, initially, the message packet 89 from the GSM device 85 and by decoding the access code of the recipient address of the address field "To" 91, transmits the message packet to the main server 15, by means of Internet 19. As mentioned before, the GSM client user can send messages in message packets. 89 to the clients of the main server using their local SMS, where the address it is formed by adding the access code (as defined by the GSM operator) to the recipient's CIN. Online chat notifications are also made via SMS messages sent back to the user's GSM device from the main server. The main server 15, upon receiving the message pack 89, represented by the arrow 93, then uses its processing means to compare the user's (unique) CIN, which in this case is the user's GSM mobile telephone number, in the "From" address field 95 with the stored CIN of the registered users of the main server in the user information database 17 to validate the CIN of the sender of the message packet and then process the UIN extracted from the address field "To" 91 to perform the routine that will perform the prescribed action, in this case, the instant messaging application, in the specified entity. The main server of the present mode uses the (country code) + (area code or code of the GSM operator) + (mobile phone number) to form the CIN of the GSM user when the user registers for the first time use this GSM device. Hence, the comparison is direct, since all SMS message packets include the sender's GSM mobile number in the "From" 95 address field.

When performing the instant messaging application, the IM 53 server application determines the user status of the target recipient of the message, as specified in the UIN extracted from the "To" 91 address field, by accessing the database. 17 of user information. The IM 53 server application also establishes the types of clients to which the target recipient can access based on user parameters for that recipient stored in the user information database to ensure proper routing or delivery of the information. message to the selected recipient's client devices. This includes, essentially, adapting the recipient's CIN to the appropriate format of the particular client type of the user that will be addressed or addressed by the message. In the case of client requests based on a PC and based on a browser, this will simply be the UIN itself. In the case of the GSM application, it will actually be the telephone number of the target recipient, which is the UIN in any case of this example. In the case of the customer based on the email, it will simply be the email address of the target recipient. Since the address of. email is alphanumeric, the email address is correlated, in fact, with a numeric address.

In case the client type of the target recipient is a GSM device, the message packet 97, as shown in Figure 4, is processed by the IM 53 server application by correctly formatting the address fields of the packet. message 97 to send it to the SMSC server system 25 and through the latter as an SMS message. The formatting operation includes extracting the access code from the "To" address field 99 of message pack 97 and adding the access code to the start of the sender's CIN indicated in the "From" address field 101. The packet The message is then sent directly to the SMSC server system 25 of the GSM network via the Internet 19, as represented by the arrow 103. The user who is a GSM client finally receives the message packet 97 in the SMS from the GSM network when the GSM network detects the availability of the user's specified GSM 105 device to receive messages through one of the GSM 107 cellular sites. In the specific examples shown in FIGS.

Figures 3 and 4, the user sending the message has the CIN "639189336647" and the user who receives the message has the CIN 639185556666. However, the GSM client needs to add the access code assigned to the main server by the system of the SMSC server 25, in this example, 52/237 '373', at the beginning of the CIN of the desired recipient to make calls through the GSM network, if the desired GSM recipient would respond to the message simply by "responding to" the message, ie, the sender's NIN is automatically entered in the numerical address "send to". In all cases it should be noted that the user's CIN is the user's primary identifier for the purpose of handling instant messages directed to or originating from it. The one-to-one comparison of this U? N with the unique identifiers of each device creates the basic foundation for the system of a single system account. IM A fundamental reason for the use of numbers, such as the CIN, is speed. This is particularly useful for performing fast instant message transmission using GSM devices. To respond to an IM message received by a user of a GSM device, all the sender has to do is click on the reply button, whereby the sender's CIN is automatically entered in the "reply to "of the GSM device. While in this mode all the codes used are numeric, one or more of these numbers could be replaced by alphanumeric codes. For the rest, the generation of messages using the 52/237 The user's GSM device is equally easy and fast. All the user has to do is enter in the "send to" address the CIN of the desired recipient added to the access code of the GSM operator. In fact, this combination of access code-CIN can be stored in the directories of most GSM devices, thus facilitating the rapid retrieval of addresses and the transmission of messages. The previous application WO-A-02/47320 of the applicant also describes in detail other requests to the messaging system, which include commercial transactions, such as so-called e-commerce or online auctions and an electronic notice board. The present invention can be used in all these applications and in other applications by the use of a wireless telecommunications device connected to a network of computers, such as the Internet. The previous one. WO-A-02/47320 of the applicant describes in detail the ability to combine an AC with a UIN. The AC, which is unique, identifies the main server to the messaging service server. The UIN, assigned to: a prescribed action performed by the main server and an entity that is the subject of the prescribed action. Next, a modality of the 52/237 invention with reference to Figure 1, related to a banking service provided by a central computer to a customer having a wireless communication device, such as a mobile or cell phone. In the present modality, the number 888 will be the AC, while the number 887654 will be the UIN. In the messaging system of the above-mentioned publication WO-A-02/47320 of the applicant, described above, there is no possibility of making a transaction directly with an AC-UIN combination independent of any previous transaction or process. If as an example we are going to perform a BANK TRANSACTION, where 888 is the AC assigned to the bank's main server and 887654 is Juan Pérez's account number, a possible prior art system may have given the bank's client an instruction such as: "To access your current balance, send the word BALANCE to 888 and then your account number, for example: Send BALANCE to 888887654 (as in the case of Juan Pérez)." In addition, given the dynamic index or suffix process detailed in the previous publication, all of Juan Pérez's transactions will have to be centralized at 888887654. The answers that Juan Pérez will receive regardless of the requested transaction will come from 888887654. In the present invention, the method and system 52/237 provide the ability to perform transactions directly with a combination of AC-UIN independent of any previous transaction or process, where at least one alphanumeric entry of the AC and the UIN are combined and treated as one, allowing a shorter address or a Simpler instruction when requesting information or participating in a transaction. If as an example we are going to make a BANK TRANSACTION, where 888 is the AC assigned to the main server of the bank and 887654 is the account number of Juan Pérez, in one modality the instruction given to the clients of the bank is: "To have access to your current balance, send the word BALANCE to 8 and then your account number, for example: Send BALANCE to 8887654 (as in the case of Juan Pérez). " The combination in the previous example is observed in the overlap of the last two digits of the AC that are 88 and in the first two digits of the UIN that are also 88. The advantage of a process of this type is clear, since this allows a simpler transaction medium, so it is not necessary to ask customers to send requests to 888 plus the account number. Instead, they are asked to send their requests to 8 plus the account number. Current GSM standards do not allow single-digit AC. However, this is technically possible. Yes 52/237 the single-digit number will be publicly disclosed, the entire range of digits will also have to be covered starting with the only assigned digit. This limits the number of access codes available to all GSM operators in the world. Made the previous statement, the process of overlapping an AC and a UIN creates an illusion for the end user. From the perspective of the end user, the transaction or service is accessed using a shorter AC. In addition to the technical processes and the server necessary for this invention to work, as mentioned in the previous publication WO-A-02/47320, in the present embodiment, at the end of the AC and at the beginning of the UIN there is at least one alphanumeric character that must be the same With reference to the BANK TRANSACTION, if the main server of the bank is assigned 777 as the AC and 887654 as the account number of Juan Pérez, it is evident that there is no overlap. In this way, the instruction will be: "To access your current balance, send the word BALANCE to 777 and then your account number, for example: Send BALANCE to 777887654 (as in the case of Juan Pérez)." To improve its services, the bank can easily reassign new account numbers to all its customers, adding 77 at the beginning of each account number, with the sole purpose of providing a better service. 52/237 mobile banking When adding 77, the new account number of Juan Pérez will then be 77887654 and the instruction to access the bank account will be: "To have access to your current balance, send the word BALANCE to 7 and then your account number. example: Send BALANCE to 777887654 (as in the case of Juan Pérez). " To improve its services, the bank can also easily reassign new account numbers to all its customers, adding 7 at the beginning of each account number, with the sole purpose of providing a better mobile banking service. When adding 7, the new account number of Juan Pérez will then be 7887654 and the instruction to access the bank account will be: "To have access to your current balance, send the word BALANCE to 77 and then your account number. example: Send BALANCE to 777887654 (as in the case of Juan Perez). "Therefore, the present invention resides primarily in the ability to perform transactions directly with a combination of AC-UIN independent of any previous transaction or process, where at least one alphanumeric entry of the AC and the UIN are combined and treated as a single entry, which allows a shorter address or a simpler instruction when requesting information or participating in a transaction. In turn, this produces a positive response from the main application, since it can 52/237 identify the UIN from the AC-UIN combination. The technical process is similar to that described in the previous publication WO-A-02/47320, with a better ability to: identify the UIN from the overlap of an AC-UIN combination by not taking into account at least one alphanumeric entry, preference, the first AC entry or by identifying the AC and adding at least one alphanumeric entry to the UIN, preferably at the beginning, to coincide with the one that is positively accepted (See Figure 1). In one embodiment, this improved messaging technique can be used in a simple person-to-person messaging system. The person-to-person messaging system will allow people to send messages free of charge by adding a 'only number before the mobile number of the target recipient. In this case, all the UIN will be the number of the mobile phone of a person (the recipient), for example, 639179876543, while the AC will include the digits 63, for example, the AC will be 463. The instruction given to the end users it will be: "To send free SMS, just enter your message, then send it to 4 followed by your friend's number, for example: Write HELLO and then send it to 4639179876543." The embodiments of the invention have been described with reference to the drawings and examples. However, it 52/237 they can effect modifications that fall within the scope of the invention, as defined by the following claims. 2/237
